So what did they _fund_ with their donation? Does the donation not indicate
that they support the aims of Lugnet, and endorse it as an entity? Or do they
have a record of giving donations to organisation whose aims they do not
support? The welcome statement, is not 100% clear in my opinion. It does not
have to be 100% clear, in my opinion – I just think it should be.
“Note: LEGO has recently made a "no strings attached" financial donation not
believed to constitute sponsorship or endorsement in the legal sense.”
I have not seen anything which substantiates this statement – but I have not
trawled through all the posts on this subject. I am not even convinced that
the words above have any different meaning in a “legal sense” – but I am open
to persuasion this.
